the unexplained! Everyone seems to have an interest in these
subjects lately. About every ten years there is a resurgence
of television shows dealing with all types of topics from
ghosts to Urban Legends to U.F.O.s and everything in

Ghosts seem to take the
forefront in TV viewing lately. Reality ghost hunting shows
are very popular right now. Whether
it's a the spirit of a loved one come back for one last visit, the
remnant of something traumatic from the past, haunted history can be found in
almost any town in any country on the planet. There are
societies dedicated to ghost hunting, paranormal groups at
colleges, hundreds of books on the subject of ghosts and,
over the past few years, television shows about ghosts and
the supernatural. They usually deal with psychics that
communicate with ghosts, some deal with all kinds of
supernatural phenomena, like "Supernatural", "Medium", and
